Sure. Make it a 2-5 minute wait with an outside chance it won't come at all. Then have the guy charge you a random amount before they start the port. 1-2% of the time the port should put you somewhere else in the world (to represent sulky or pranky porters). Increase that chance drastically if you "undertip".

Some of the "porters" can even exchange pleasantries with you. Maybe if you don't say the right things it gives you a chance for the porter to drop you from group without porting you, or port you again to somewhere random. Then it can be a 10-30 minute wait before you can get another port (as they "blacklist" you). Fail too many times and you get blacklisted permanently - no porting!

I actually kinda like this idea now that we're talking about it.

Or how about the reverse? I get on my drui, click the book and it follows me around begging for a port? I kill some hill giants, begs for ports. I kill some ice giants, begs for port.

Funally I click ok and it gives me some random location to port to. Once I and the PoK book arrive, the book explains that it'd tip me, but all it's coppers are on it's corps (the PoK book is standing there decked out in raid and epic equip), but will if I buff him out and we travel four zones over through Death and Hades.

After wandering around the target zone four times, finally finding the corpse, the PoK book rewards me with a cat's eye agate and 12 copper, immediately gates out as the mega swarn-train arrives that it managed to collect searching for it's corpse.

Who said there was no interaction? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
